Resuming an Interrupted Download

movedat allows interrupted downloads to be resumed from where they left off.  It does this be creating certain temporary files and checkpoints in the destination directory to keep track of the download's progress.

If you move or rename these ".TMP or ".CHK" files or you will lose the ability to resume the download.

You can resume a download by repeating the original command in the original directory.  movedat will then ask you if you wish to resume, start over, or cancel.  If you select "start over", the previously saved data will be immediately erased.

If you attempt to resume getting a file that has changed, or has different content than the original, the resulting file will likely be corrupted.

To prevent movedat from creating temporary and checkpoint files, and disable resumable downloading, use the "-c" command line option, or the "NoCheck" configuration variable.

Note that Sends (uploads) and Packs cannot be resumed once interrupted.
